Zusammenfassung:A valve assembly (100, 300) includes a valve body and a valve member (104) configured to translate between an open and a closed position. The valve assembly (100, 300) also includes a bonnet (108) coupled to the valve body and a valve stem (106) coupled to the valve member (104). The valve assembly (100, 300) also includes an actuator (102) coupled to the bonnet (108). The actuator (102) includes a first drive mechanism (112) positioned to translate a first driving force to the valve stem (106), the first drive mechanism being in operation during a normal operating condition. The actuator (102) also includes a second drive mechanism (114) positioned to translate a second driving force to the valve stem (106), the second drive mechanism (114) being in operation during a fail-safe operating condition.
